A rear-end collision pushed a car into a pedestrian Wednesday in San Rafael, injuring two women and sparking a search for a hit-and-run driver, authorities said.

The incident occurred at 5:45 p.m. on North San Pedro Road, where a 58-year-old woman was in a crosswalk, said San Rafael fire Capt. Jason Hatfield. A Honda compact stopped to let the woman pass, but the Honda was struck from behind by a pickup truck.

The Honda then struck the pedestrian, who went up and over the hood of the car, Hatfield said. The truck left the scene.

The pedestrian and the woman driving the Honda suffered minor injuries.

and were taken to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Terra Linda.

Sheriff's deputies and the California Highway Patrol responded to investigate. Authorities were looking for a blue Nissan pickup truck whose driver was described as a man in an Oakland A's jersey.

Hit-and-run collisions are classified as felony crimes when there are injuries.
